"American Revolutionaries!"
I saw this exhibit last week during the
Brave New Voices competition in Chicago
@ The Museum of Contemprary Art.
Unfortunately I ran outta battery life
due 2 the poetry slam so these pics are
part of the "swipe life" from Oishii Creatives site
It's a campaign for the documentary
series "American Revolutionaries" presented by
Oishii Creative on Ovation TV featuring African American musical icons and barrier breakers.
The images were created by LA muralist slash graffitti artist RETNAIf you believe in parallel lives, here's 2 you!
You'll be able 2 visually explore the uncontained
similarities in these pieces of art.
-PICTURES LIE-"Lemme Put You On Game"
Jesse Jackson and the late Detroit Mayor, Coleman Young are all smiles in this photo, taken at the Book-Cadillac Hotel the night Young was first elected Detroit’s mayor in 1973. But inside, the mayor-elect was seething. He had wanted Jackson, then a youthful 32, to come to Detroit to lead a voter-registration drive. But the younger man demanded $50,000, to which an indignant Coleman spat, “I didn’t have $50,000 for Jesse Jackson.” Later, when Jackson ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, Young got even by endorsing a rival, and at one point proclaimed, “Jesse never ran nothing but his mouth.” In a classic understatement, Mayor Young noted in his autobiography that, “It was well known that Jesse and I were not bosom buddies.”
